EP 8: Trauma-Informed Care & Delivering Cultural Competence in Mental Health Services with Bedette Ngabonziza

Many of us wonder if exposure to traumatic events equals becoming traumatized in the future. In this episode, Bedette Ngabonzinza helps us to define trauma in a simple way, and she works us through the different types of trauma, such as PTSD, CPTSD, & Complex Trauma. We also discussed how mental health practitioners must include cultural competence in mental health services to recognize the background that shapes marginalized communities such as black people to ensure proper treatment.
